West Timor - Administration

Administration

West Timor is part of the East Nusa Tenggara province. It is split into four regencies (local government districts); from west to east these are: Kupang, Timor Tengah Selatan (South Central Timor), Timor Tengah Utara (North Central Timor) and Belu. The city of Kupang itself is a kota (fifth regency-level administrative area). Note the administrative area has shrunk as Rote Ndao Regency and Sabu Raijua Regency were split off in 2007 and 2009 respectively. The island accounts for 35.5% of the provincial population.
